Journalists normally have specialties or passions that they prefer to write about, and most of them end up writing just that. We have all read the vague, not so opinionated articles on national news channels, but where can we hear pure raw writing that is unfiltered. Look at articles on these two websites and see how we are similar or different in our opinions towards these websites.
Antiwar.com | Theamericanconservative.com
Sometimes reading more unfiltered articles about the wrongs and rights happening in the world, is the better way to read about it. For example, the article on Antiwar.com, about a United States Air Force general saying, “when you kill your enemy, every part of your life it better.” This article or simply the quote would not be seen on more nationally recognized news channels because it is to graphic and unappealing. What I mean by graphic and unappealing is, this is something the government and the mainstream news channels work hard to cover up and not bring attention to. This is because they want you to think about the military as focused on protecting us not always having to kill to better their own life. Nobody wants to hear that the people fighting for their country enjoys killing people.
I believe there is a reason why we must seek out obscure websites to hear strong anti-war voices. This reason being, the government doesn’t want us to be against war because to them, that is always the easiest way of dealing with things. The government does not want us to be against our military, the people fighting for our country, because it would look bad on them. In order to get the deep dark truth, obscure websites might be the place to go.
